Vizza With Jacks, Then Queens

donpeters

Frank Vizza has opened the two previous pots to 50,000 preflop. The first time, he held pocket jacks and the second time he held pocket queens. Must be nice to get those hands back to back. All Vizza has to show for it though is picking up the blinds and antes.

Lessons from Canada

donpeters

Matt Brady opened from middle position to 48,000. Everyone folded around to John Nixon on the button and he took his time to act, a long time. So long in fact, that Alex Bolotin called the clock on Nixon. With about 30 seconds left on the timer, Nixon put in a reraise to 130,000 and action folded back over to Brady.

"They teach you that in Canada?" asked Brady.

"What? To three bet?" responded Nixon.

"No, the ten-minute-tank reraise," said Brady before taking a moment longer to make the fold.
